Heh, well, I could clearly use some nose-sticking-in with this problem. All much appreciated :)
My laptop is an Acer Aspire 5745G and I THINK I've got the .NET updates you mention. For example, I installed the following two updates this morning:
Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 for x64-based Systems (KB2656410)
Installation date: 10/05/2012 07:40
Installation status: Successful
Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4 on XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2 for x64 (KB2656405)
Installation date: 10/05/2012 07:38
Installation status: Successful
By the way, if it helps to know, I've also got a new but related error when I start-up: IAStorIcon has stopped working.
Thanks again, I'm giving the Sophos AV a go right now.
P.S. Apologies if I've inadvertently taken this thread off-topic...
